Processing the Danger Shield

Learn to create basic shapes in Processing. Then manipulate the shapes or variables through use of a physical sensor. In this case the Danger Shield.

Students will create simple objects, fill them with colors and load a background image. Then after covering the Arduino/Processing handshake students will control aspects of the images in their Processing sketch using the analog and digital sensors on the Danger Shield for the Arduino.

Concepts covered include:

Variables

Importing images

Creating functions and objects

Establishing Arduino to Processing communication

Make changes in your Processing display depending on input from the Arduino
